A BLACK AND WHITE BABE.
of Startling Monstrosity from
Arkansas
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.


St. Louis Globe Democrat.
There is on exhibition in North st.
Louis the greatest living curiosity OF the
nineteenth century. 1t is a child FIVE
months Old, the daughter of full blooded
Philippians, but so peculiarly marked as
to excite the wonder of all who visit the
place. The feet and ankles OF the little
girl are dark copper color; the remain
der Of the lower limbs are as white as the
skin of any child born of white parents.
Around the upper part of the abdomen is
q peculiarly shaped white belt, while all
the rest of the body, SIS we'll as the face,
is of the same color as the feet. In the
center of the fOrehesd, and extending
a little way on the scalp IS white marx
resembling al inverted "L," At the up
per end Of the 81" is a portion of the
head covered with hair very much in tex
ture ana color like very fine wool. The
rest OF the head has for its covering tine
ordinary black wool of the negro. The
child is perfectly formed, healthy and
active, and in its general features shows
the African blood which courses through
its veins. 1t was born October 9 last, at
children born to Isaac and Mary HOlp
we'll. The parents are each about thirty
years Of age, black and ignorant. They
have for the past two months travelled
from place to place exhibiting their LITTLE
one to the gaze of the curious, and recetV-
iug in return whatever the visitors desire
to give. Mr.. HOlloWell, when asked
what significance WAS attached TO the
peculiar marks on the child, indicated by
his reply that he thought they indicated
that the little one bore the imprints of the
Almighty's hand and was destined ito have
wonderful career. He explained them
as follows:
"WelI, de brown stockins is dR brass
on de Lawd's feet; de white leg5 is de
marble pillahs; de belt means del g'rdin'
up de loins, an de white HAIR is de white
wool on de Lawd's head"
Some time before the child WIS born,
Mr.. HoiloWell said, the parents hhnpened
to refer one day to the subject of pfEuliar
children, and wondered what they tlould
do should one be born to them sd kh as
they had heard about. The motheI after
ward dreamed that she had given birth to
a child of uncommon appearance, and
which grew up and was transported to
Heaven and enrolled among thef angelic
hosts. The dream made a stronet impress.
sion on her, and she is strongly En- belief
that brief sojourn on earth Will be
accorded the little one sne has ri Nv with
her.
Evidently they are bound to axe The
most of it while it remains wiz them
Countless visitors go to see the curiosity
aud both the parents are carefut to re
mind them to "leaye 8 0imS for TIT

same as donation to the destitute citi-
zens of their several counties as their I'M
mediate necessities may demand.
Art. 8. The commissioners court pur-
chasing provisions under the preceding
article, shall give orders on the county
for money to pay for the same. And in
distributing said provisions, shall give no
aid to any persons who have or are able
to buy bread for themselves, and shall
require affidavlts to be made by two
credible persons, one of whom shall
be the person for whom the
aid is sought, showing such inability 10
purchase said food, and further showing
such persons for whom aid is solicited to
have been bona fide citizens of the county
in which they then reside for more than
three months next proceeding the time of
making sucn applications.
Now, then, this language is PLAIN, and
our Commissioners court prescribed the
oath accordingly, which cannot DE misun-
derstoOd, and 395 persons have swallowed
the oath. Mr.. Logan ought to come over
to PalO Pinto and get acquainted with the
people. During our District court, held
first week in March, Mr.. Logan WAS il
Palo Pinto, and your correspondent saw
him IN Judge Henry's Office. Mr.. Logan
had a copy of the cath, and was
getting the Judges opinion, as well
as giving his. He concluded at asst that he
would take the oath and get relief. Your
correspondent told him that ne could not
take the oath, and If he subscribed to
same your correspondent reminded him
that the grand jury being in session might
investigate same: Mr.. Logan did not
take the oath, did not get relief, but we
suppose he took an insult, went off and
told THE GAZETTE that the oath was con-
temptible. Let Mr.. Logan keep quiet and
say no more. J. L. CUNNINGHAM.

NO TEWFSBURY IN TEXAS.

We have never had Tewks5ury methods
in Texas, in the management of the state
institutions which are sustained for the
naturally unfortunate or the vicious elias
ses. Oar system, despite tie lack
of facilities for confnipg prisoners where
they can be worked within walls, thus
blending refoIm atOry with punitive
features, has been IN the main humane
and creditable, far more creditabIe than
the contract-Iease system that is in vogue
in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and
other states. Our institutions for the
blind, the insane and deaf mutes have all
been operated efficiently and humanely
and of late years the care of the insane
has received an increased degree Of at
tention, coupled with more liberal out
lay of money, that Is indicative of high
state Of progress. It can be imagined
then how reputable people will
regret to hear that any one of
the state institutions, and especially
that for the care of the insane, should
come under suspicion, as to the manage
ment thereof, to a degree warranting leg
islative investigation. The resolution
offered by Mr.. Jones of Pamela county,
and which was promptly adopted by the
House, will be genuine surprise to the
people of the whole state, and nothing
short of the most thorough, impartial in
vestigation will satisfy the public. Turn
on the calcium light and let nothing be
kept back. At this stage of the matter
The GAZETTE cannot venture surmIses
or speculations. There may be grounds
for the suspicious, and on the other hand
it may be that the management of the
Austin Asylum (for the North Texas in
jones' .resolution) will be able
to demonstrate that its operations have
been above reproach. For humanity's
sake, as well as for the credit of the state,
it fs to be hoped that the latter SUPPOSE
ton may prove to be the case. THE GA
zET1E is 10th to believe that any impro-
per or inhuman methods could be carried
on in tSe Austin institution with the sane
ton or knowledge Of the superintendent,
and prsters to believe, until absolute
proof to the contrary is adduced, that the
charges and allegations will be met and
refuted. But let the investigation be
opened and conducted so thoroughly and
Impartially that all the truth will come
out and be laid before the people Then
1t will be possible to arrive at fair and
intelligent Judgment of all the questions
involved in the charges. Those who are
most affacted by these charges will, we
imagine, court such scrutiny and not rest
content until 1t is instituted and con-
cluded.

of "the press of the state" simply from
the facts in the case, and presuming
nothing in its favor, how can all the
newspapers of the state be convicted of
dishonesty when they do not all unite on
public measures? Mr.. Bell Of Cooke is
lawyer, and he ought to be able to easily
convict himself of ilIiberality and injus-
tice on the above testimony from his own
mouth. Suppose even one Texas news
paper were reckless enough to
declare that sit wanted no bet
ter evidence that there was
merit in measure than when it saw the
Twentieth Legislature, especially the ma
iority Of the Lower House, oppose such
measure"-what would be thought and
said OF that paper? Mr.. Bell of Cooke has
done "the press of the state" great in
Justice and himself discredit in making
statement fer which there IS no more
foundation thsn there is for the assertion
that "alI lawyers are Hsrs."

FEMALE VOTERS.
The Registration of Women In Kansas
Preparatory to Casting the Ballot.
Kansas City Times


Kansas City Times.
KANSAS CITY, KAN.
The women who have registered in
Kansas City, KaG., are generally of the
best families, and include the strong
minded women who act and think for
themselves. A small per cent. from the
more modest walks of life have found
their way to tue city clerks Office. Over
100 cOlored women have registered. On
several occasions female applicants OF
foreign birth have been disappointed and
in two Instances so strong was the desire
to vote that, they took out regular papers
Of naturalization.
The great ambition on the part of the
women who propose to exercise their VOt-
ing privileges seems to be to enforce the
prohiOitOry laws Of the state and to Sc
cure good managers Of the educational
interests of the city.
There are many hundred ladies in the
city who ObstinatelY refuse to register,
and could not by any means be induced to
go to the rolls on election day, but the
new law will increase the vote of the city
between 400 and 500, but will have no de-
cided influence otherwise than as indi-
Gated.
NO EXCITEMENT IN BURLINGTON.
BURLINGTON, KAN, March I5.-Up to
date only nine women have registered in
this city, land from the present indications
the whole number will not exceed
twenty five. Most of the ladies here do
not care 10 get down into the dirty pool
of politics, and the wives of the leading
citizens of Burlington will have nothing
TO do with the registering or voting bust
ness. All the ladies registering will do
so at the earnest solicitations of prospect
i've candidates for city offices.
THREE HUNDRED IN WINFIELD.
WINFIELD, KAN, March 1.-two
hundred women In this city have ragis-
tered, and it is the general feeling that
about 100 more will do SO. There will
be about 1000 males registered. 1t is fair
to presume that something over 200
women will vote. The first who regis
tered were of the short hair and hard
faced element, but it is safe to say that
majority of those who vote are of the
more respectable element.
GREAT INTEREST IN STOCKTON.
STOCKTON, KAN, March 15-Great in
terest is being manifested by the women
Of this city in the municipal suffrage law
giving them the right to vote. They are
holding weekly meetings for the purpose
of deciding what candidacy to support in
the spring election. They will poll about
100 votes.

PALo PINTO, TEN, March %, 1887.
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
l noticed in a late issue of THE GA
zETTE a letter from Mr.. A. S. Logan, of
Saleville, Palo Pinto county, commenting
on the action of the Legislature in max
ing the oath for relief of those in destitute
circumstances so harsh that our people
could not take the same without being
insulted. Mr.. Logan says the leglsla-
tor that prescribed that oath did not
know our people and did not know when
the same was offered TO them
to subscribe to it that it was
an insult to their pride and beneath the
dignity of our citizens TO subscribe to the
same. He seems to intimate that the
people Will not accept the relief on the
terms. Your correspondent, after read
ing Mr.. L0gan's letter, went over to oar
County judges Office to gain information
from the record. There he found thst
395 persons had subscribed to the oath
named by Mr.. Logan, and that relief
had been granted out of the
state donati n just that many
times. This looks more as If Mr.. Logan
did not know his people thar anything
else. Your correspondent did not hear
Colonel Ferguson when here. but the
look of intelligence about this gentleman
does not show that he miscOnstrued the
law for our people. No one need take the
opinion of any one unless they want to.
The law is plain, and reads thus.
Art 4. The commissioners of any coun-
ty receiving said money shall Immediately
purchase corn, -four or meal set such
ksces and in such manner as SAM court
sem proper, and shall distli31ke the
